Chronology of Writings

Eighteen volumes of the series Edith Steins Werke have
appeared since 1950. The current
publisher is Herder in Freiburg. Volume 10 is a biography of
Stein by Romaeus Leuven.

Five volumes have appeared in the English translation series,
The Collected Works of Edith Stein.
The publisher is the Institute of Carmelite Studies, 2131 Lincoln
Road NE, Washington, D.C.
20002-1199.

Stein's four major phenomenological treatises are indicated
below in boldface type. None of
these treatises has yet appeared in a critical edition in
ESW.

"Was Ist Philosophie? Ein Gespräch
zwischen Edmund Husserl und Thomas von
Aquino." ESW 15 (1993) 19-48. [Apparently this was the first
draft for the 1929
Jahrbuch but had to be redone at the insistence of
Martin Heidegger.]

Einführung in die Philosophie. ESW 13 (1991).
[This seems to be lecture material
prepared in 1931. However, the condition of the manuscript
suggests that portions of
the material now appearing on pages 141-224 were composed about
1920. The editor
characterizes this work as a third Habilitationsschrift,
intended for Breslau.]

"Martin Heideggers Existentialphilosophie." [Originally an
appendix to Endliches und
ewiges Sein, but deleted by the publisher.] ESW 6 (1962)
69-135. [This volume of
ESW also contains two short discussions of Husserl.]

Kreuzeswissenschaft: Studie über
Joannes a Cruce. ESW 1 (1954; second edition,
1983). The Science of the Cross: A Study of St. John of the
Cross. Translated by Hilda
Graef. London: Burns & Oates, 1960. [New translation expected
next year in CWES
will incorporate more recent scholarship on John of the
Cross.]

1916-42

Selbstbildnis in Briefen. Part 1:
1916-1934. ESW 8 (1976). Part 2: 1934-1942. ESW 9
(1977). [Includes some letters to Ingarden and all letters to
Conrad-Martius, although
these have also been published separately.] Self-Portrait in
Letters: 1916-1942.
Translated by Josephine Koeppel. CWES 5 (1993).
